Greg Zuerlein is a name synonymous with elegance and precision on ice. As a former American ice dancer, he is best known for his remarkable partnership with Madison Chock, with whom he won the 2009 World Junior Championship title, the 2008 JGP Final Championship, and the 2011 U.S. national bronze medal.
Born on October 26, 1988, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Zuerlein took his first steps on the ice at the age of four. He initially competed in single skating, participating in the 2002 and 2003 U.S. junior championships on the juvenile level. However, it was ice dancing that ultimately became his true calling.
Zuerlein's partnership with Anastasia Olsen from 2002 to 2006 laid the foundation for his future success. The duo won the bronze medal in intermediate dance in 2005 and placed 12th at the novice level at the 2006 U.S. Championships. In June 2006, Zuerlein teamed up with Madison Chock, with whom he would go on to achieve unparalleled success.
In December 2008, Chock and Zuerlein won gold at the Junior Grand Prix Final in Goyang, South Korea. This victory was followed by their junior title win at the 2009 U.S. Championships and, ultimately, their crowning achievement: becoming the 2009 World Junior champions in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Their success continued as they moved up to the senior level, making their Grand Prix debut in 2009 and finishing fifth at their senior national debut in January 2010.
Zuerlein is married to Philippe Maitrot, whom he wed in March 2014. His older sister is a synchronized skater who has competed at the Junior Synchro Worlds.
